When it comes to exhibitions, models that make you stand out from the rest can make all the difference. Using an experienced and professional exhibition model maker will allow you to create eye-catching displays that attract and engage the public as easily as possible.
Exhibition models are also useful for demonstrating products within the workplace and can be created so that they are able to be dismantled and reassembled to further explain the product.
Exhibition model making techniques
It is almost impossible to list all the techniques available to create exhibition models, as there is such a wide variety of model types needed for different businesses and industries and almost anything can be requested.
Some of the processes used can include anything from vacuum casting and CNC machining to traditional hand painting, polishing and finishing.
- CNC machining provides the customer with a wide range of options when it comes to materials.
- SLA and SLS rapid prototypes are often well suited to intricate exhibition models as fine details can be easily created.
- Selective Laser Sintering models from nylon are extremely hard wearing, so if durability is an issue SLS is perfect for display models intended for dis-assembly and frequent handling.
Choosing an exhibition model maker
Because there are so many different possibilities when it comes to exhibition model making requests, it is important that the model maker you choose has a wide range of model making knowledge and background as well as access to the latest technology in production techniques.
Significant previous experience will enable a model maker to direct you towards the most appropriate methods of production and help you to choose the most cost efficient without sacrificing the wow factor.
If materials can be adjusted as the exhibition models are being designed, or large models can be completed from a hollow piece this can work out more cost efficient, so check how flexible a model maker is before committing yourself.
You also need to consider whether the lead times to turn your display around are quick enough for your needs, particularly if you are working to a tight deadline for an upcoming exhibition.
